DEADPOOL MOVIE

[Sweet Rabbit]

Dredd reboot should've been the hard R cbm that earned a box office like DP.

The jokes in DP barely sustained 1 movie as it is.

Every article i've read is about how DP will now be the driving force behind every decision Fox makes on cbm.

Sure it was entertaining to a certain degree but it's definately not in the same quality category as Dredd.

Bye bye Mangold, your Wolverine ideas no longer matter.

Maybe now there will be a real Wolverine movie

Who knows maybe Mangold always wanted a hard R Wolverine.

But I bet it will have a lot of jokes in it.

 

[EVILFACE]

Well I doubt Deadpools R was because of violence.

Wolverine can't be cracking no sexual jokes every 30 seconds.

But i approve of including strip clubs.

 

[jye4ever]

Well at the very least you know we're going to see Wolverine cut off Deadpool's head followed with a joke.

I still wanted to see that bitty. I was pissed when Colossus was obscuring my view.

That's because it was for my Viewing Pleasure

Saw this last night. Well, half of it anyway. For the first time since "Jason X" I walked out of a theatrical film. Not for me. At all. Deadpool is not a "superhero film for grown-ups." The original RoboCop was for grown-ups. The Crow was for grown-ups. Blade was for grown-ups. This doesn't even "count" as a true superhero movie. It was "Scary Movie: Super Hero Edition." I can handle R. I can handle violence. I can handle naughty words. But this really was just a feature length version of the Red Band Trailer. They tried SO hard, and always in such a pervasively low brow "Wayans Bros" kind of way.

I'm not outraged, it was in fact exactly the film that the red band trailer made it out to be. And I walked into it. There's CLEARLY an audience for this kind of thing. I'm not it. It could have been good. I did laugh at about every 10th joke. Even out loud once or twice. The initial pile up on the highway looked cool. His costume was cool. But the jokes seemed to just be raunchy for the sake of being raunchy or were borrowed from funnier movies/shows. The sex through the holidays gag felt like it was from Naked Gun. The "you made a Star Wars reference??" "No, I made an EMPIRE reference!" was an exchange that Leonard and Penny made on The Big Bang Theory years ago. Meh.

As far as I'm concerned I paid to see Batman beating up some guys in a warehouse on the big screen. That was cool.

Meh, I thought they hit a home run.

It was fun. And in all honesty I was expecting more gratuitious nudity and over the top vulgar-ness.

I thought it was the bomb dot com

I'm not saying that they failed at making the type of movie that they wanted to make. It just wasn't for me.

Love seeing the negative reviews of people wanting R-rated comic book movies and trouncing what they got instead when this movie's enormous success will lead to more R-rated movies that just may well be exactly what they were hoping for in Deadpool. Your ticket purchase may not have been wasted after all, Khev.

You know that's what I'm hoping. If Deadpool's success (and my contribution to its success) leads to more Verhoeven-esque RoboCops or R-rated Wolverine or Punisher films then great. But I fear that all we'll get instead is just a slew of superhero films aimed at the "American Pie" crowd.

In my day over the top bloody and profane superhero movies were Judge Dredd ripoffs and we liked it!

 

[KBA]

I think this forces Studio heads to at least sit down, and talk about it. I loved Deadpool, but I would hate to see the screwball, wild, trolling humor become a schtick in any non-Deadpool movies to come (that's always been his bag). My hope is that they look at other Marvel Excplicit comics -- here's looking at you, Punisher Max -- and run wild.

 

[Khev]

Yes I do hope that DP now gives studios "permission" to go back to R rated sci-fi and fantasy. As great as Fury Road was it's box office underperformance almost seemed to confirm that Hollywood would just keep cranking out PG-13 Terminator, Robocop and Predator sequels when back in the day those were all hard R. If that happens then I'll be begrudgingly grateful even if I didn't care for the film itself.

Blade 1 / Dredd > Deadpool

 

[crows]

is Lobo like deadpool? (Not as silly obviously) but is Lobo like over the top and crass?

That would be a good new movie like deadpool

 

[Khev]

I saw "Rob L." on the styrofoam cup in the crashing car and thought I heard someone say "Liefeld" in the bar. Were there any other references to Liefeld or jokes at his expense? Did DP blow off anyone's feet and then turn to him and say "now he looks like you drew him" or anything?

History repeats itself, and here’s exactly what’s going to happen. All sorts of random projects will get greenlit and go into production. Execs will order many more into development. Then, one will eventually fail, thus shutting the door for good.

But it’s even deeper than that. When you really look at the history of copycat Hollywood, the problem is that the wrong lesson is going to be learned from the success of Deadpool. Instead of it becoming about taking risks, it becomes about taking risks that are similar to the superhero movie. It’ll be cloned with a lack of voice and lack of vision

[Khev]

I'm good. I've never read a Deadpool comic so I had no vested interest in the character and I can't really bemoan the film for giving me exactly what was in the trailers. I think that with it's huge opening and positive reviews I couldn't help but wonder if there was something more than what the trailers were showing but that isn't the movie's fault.

Even though I didn't sit through it to the end I wasn't outraged or anything. Just realized that it wasn't for me.
